A C172 based at Tauranga, NZTG. In the past 2 years this aircraft has been restored to life. NZ aircraft that don't have the range to reach any other country are allowed to dispense with the nationality part of the marking, which is why this aircraft is registered DXO. Since I could get away (broadly) with writing the Sunair on the fin, I used the registration function to make the tail marking since registrations can be rotated and text can't be. I then made the DXO part from a simple text "element" as I also did with the company details on the engine covers.

The only glitch with this paint is that the port and starboard Sunair text on the fin isn't symmetrically placed, so I've simply chosen to ensure it doesn't go onto the rudder.
